Blogger has been notified, according to the terms of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), that certain content in your blog is alleged to infringe upon the copyrights of others. As a result, we have reset the post(s) to \"draft\" status. (If we did not do so, we would be subject to a claim of copyright infringement, regardless of its merits. The URL(s) of the allegedly infringing post(s) may be found at the end of this message.) This means your post - and any images, links or other content - is not gone. You may edit the post to remove the offending content and republish, at which point the post in question will be visible to your readers again.

A bit of background: the DMCA is a United States copyright law that provides guidelines for online service provider liability in case of copyright infringement. If you believe you have the rights to post the content at issue here, you can file a counter-claim. In order to file a counter-claim, please see http://www.google.com/support/bin/request.py?contact_type=lr_counternotice&product=blogger.

The notice that we received, with any personally identifying information removed, will be posted online by a service called Chilling Effects at http://www.chillingeffects.org. We do this in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). You can search for the DMCA notice associated with the removal of your content by going to the Chilling Effects search page at http://www.chillingeffects.org/search.cgi, and entering in the URL of the blog post that was removed.

If it is brought to our attention that you have republished the post without removing the content/link in question, then we will delete your post and count it as a violation on your account. Repeated violations to our Terms of Service may result in further remedial action taken against your Blogger account including deleting your blog and/or terminating your account. DMCA notices concerning content on your blog may also result in action taken against any associated AdSense accounts. If you have legal questions about this notification, you should retain your own legal counsel.

“When phosphate fertilizer is spread on the tobacco fields year after
year, the concentration of lead-210 and polonoium-210 in the soil
rises.” When the soil is stirred up – by planting, plowing, wind,
whatever – radioactive particles drift into the air, attach to dust and
other particulates there. As these settle back down to the ground, they
are often trapped by the naturally sticky leaves of the tobacco plant.

In 2004, Eric Holder helped negotiate an agreement with the Justice Department for Chiquita Brands International in a case that involved Chiquita's payment of "protection money" to the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia, a group on the U.S. government's list of terrorist organizations.

In the agreement, Chiquita's officials pleaded guilty and paid a fine of $25 million. Eric Holder represented Chiquita in the civil action that grew out of this criminal case.

So if you were to have a swarm of nanobots all working in conjunction with each other they would be able to create an entirely artificial environment where you would actually think you were in a different place. Like creating a beach or a forest that you would be immersed in it.

The ship, named for Pueblo, Colorado, was never returned to the United States and was made into a tourist attraction by North Korea. The ship remains a commissioned vessel in the U.S. Navy -- the oldest in the Navy.
